Kashya's Route back into Fitness

[Kashya]

Pre-warning, I suck at keeping a journal, but I think it is a major part in this journey, for one because if I write down what I did (or did not, but should have) do at a day, I won't forget and I can look back and keep track of my prgress easier other than looking at plain numbers, I can analyse what might work better and what might not work, what my hurdles are and so on. So I decided to start this journal and I will TRY to write in it at least once a day.

So to start...here are my goals. I want to get my body back the way it was when I met my husband about 10 years ago. I used to be a very active, very fit person, until a knee injury turned me into a couch potato. So now, 10 yrs and 2 kids later it is time to kick it back into gear and get my body back, and I know only I can do it. To put a few numbers behind that goal. I want to get down to 165 lbs (am 235 right now) and I want to get down to 20% bodyfat (currently 49%).
I don't have a time frame for it, because I know a transformation like this takes time, but it would be nice as a shorter term goal if I could get to 200lbs by end of the year.

Just a little note . . . we are having a Spartan Ball next year after we get back from Iraq . . . so getting into that favorite dress you like so much is another goal.

Hey starting the journal is the hardest part! You're well on your way!

How's the aqua-robics going?

If you like the H20 workouts, seriously, pool running is a killer-- and I recommend it--- try putting a funnoodle under your armpits (wrap it around your back-- or better yet, use an aquarobics floaty vest)-- and bring your stereo to the pool (hint: flirt with lifeguard and/or bring strong husband in to threaten lifeguard) with about 40 minutes of workout music on it. Also be sure the pool has a good lap timer. Warm up for 5 minutes just running slowly while being suspended, then go as hard as you can for a minute, then slow for a minute, and repeat for the next 30 mins. Then cool down for 5 mins. It's a good way to get in a HARD workout when they are not offering aquarobics, and it's non-impact, so it's great for the joints!!

Oh man, I love that workout. I might have to go break into the pool and do that one today!!

Keep on working hard!! You're gonna do great!!
